Precept

The funding for Parish Councils is allocated by the District Council and is taken from the area’s council tax; this is called an annual precept. The income and expenditure for the next
financial year are calculated in the form of estimates and this amount is added to the local council tax and then returned to the parishes in two half-yearly instalments.

Due to careful planning we have been able to reduce the parish council element of the council tax on each household for the last 4 years. The precept for 2025/26 has been set at £18,300.  The budget for 2025/6 can be found here.
